Nothing spectacular, obviously - just a basic HNTR AoCn. My question is, could I have pulled off a full win with what I had? If so, how? I'm quite inexperienced dealing with JC(or whatever it is now, I've only very recently picked up the latest version after a long absence), and I have no idea how to deal with... just... so many Barons. To be perfectly honest, I've never even fought the mastermind - both of my wins since I picked DoomRL back up have been nukes in Dis, and I had quite a time with just the Cyberdemon - I was Berserk from the previous level, or I probably wouldn't have survived.
I'm starting to get better at dealing with regular enemies by using walls and positioning, but I'm clueless about how to fight in the open.
Evilpotatoe:
Usually, you're compeletely overpowered when you reach JC.
Here, I think your best bet was to shoot him with your hyperblaster, and use some BFG shots to clear barons if the screen started filling too much.
Btw, high power BFG is a pure waste. keep bulks to increase the number of shots (1 more shot per bulk, B3 BFG has 220 cells !).
You might also have sacrificed your intuition to the envirosuit, for the resistances against both barons and rockets.
For fight in the open, the best is to have an insane firepower. For me, most usuful skill are, in that order : SoB, EE, Fin. MCe helps a lot too, especially if you got enough speed to stay out of LOS of your opponents, but I'm not sure hit&run works for JC (I never tried it).
Without enough firepower, you'll quickly get swarmed, and need to get back to some cover... which hell fortress doesn't offer.
LuckyDee:
I've run into JC only a couple of times as of yet (all in 0997), and I've seen nothing besides souls and cacos (on HNTR, that is)...

I've only seen him on UV in this version - and he was definitely putting out Barons.
Radagast:
barons... hell knights.. and revenants in fact... but I guess experience is basically from UV here too.
High powered bfg I agree it's a huge waste and a useless weapon too. What can just one shot really do on bosses? not much.
You can't really reload such weapons with JC, unless you phase away first...
Good point for the envirosuit, but tbh I always forget it as well concerning that kind of use.
Knowing it doesn't help much from forgetting it...
And something last. You do realize you have awful damage potential with :
Int->Int->HR->HR->DM->Fin->Fin->WK
Finesse is nice but no Sob and no EE levels at all will never help much since most weapons either benefit greatly from at least one of those two traits. On late levels let alone high difficulties this is an uber fail build imo, at least in terms of dmg. At least you were lucky enough to get a revenant launcher, but the shotgun for example is not good enough imo without a few sob levels. And rapid weapons usually need both EE/Sob.
As for fighting in the open it's usually unadvised but it becomes pretty easy with high speeds (antigr/tactical boots and/or HR levels.) Intuition/Cateye builds make this even easier but you do need an EE or two, for the accuracy. It's been more than once that I killed mastermind and cyberdemon damageless in this way, with just running and backpedaling around and around the whole level, while shooting off-screen with any weapons available, abusing the intuition trait and emptying all of them in the process. You might try it at some point, at least with the build you had in this game, it was pretty much doable with minor changes on some trait levels.
